Big Yellow Book - Group Buy - Gauging Interest

[Sidewinder]

I still cannot fathom a logical reason as to why anyone with even a modicum of sense would drop these ludicrous amounts of money on a complete new book to see a few chages on a couple of pages.

When the BSI release loose leaf versions and updates in the same format I will buy said editions.

They won't no more loose leaf versions will be published.

There are also more than a "few" changes unfortunately.

If we stop buying thier books, they will have to stop writing them. HAVE ALL THE ELECTRICIANS GONE ***** MAD, STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WHY KEEP ON RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL?

I have NEVER chopped in any of my old Regs Books EVER

I have them from 14 th edn where the PIR was a MASSIVE DOUBLE sided sheet of A5! How times have changed!

Old Regs books are useful to refer back to for confirming the work was to standard WHEN it was done originally

Just hoarding

Don't worry kerching the library box has begun, though my collection only goes back to the first 17th red edition as that's when I started no doubt they'll be many more in the future for the loft  :shakehead

However

just checked, the red edition is worth £9.50  :slap

I'd say thats an unbeatable price !!! :Salute

 

[Murdoch]

Will you be getting more?? and hats off to you guys for supporting the hard pressed spark.

None of the schemes have done this for us and they should all be ASHAMED.

 

[Sharpend]

So very true Murdoch, it just goes to show by how much the scams are scamming us if an INDEPENDANT such a MM can do the best deal. I'll bet the scams get the books at the same price as MM probably less if truth be known.

If I can cancel my current order then you can count me in.

What price can you do the OSG for MM?

We will be getting more, have sold quite a few prior to this offer.

Not sure at the moment, will sort out a cost tomorrow.

 

[Murdoch]

Is it possible to order online at this price?

 

[Sidewinder]

I doubt it Murdoch, forum offers normally go through Mark or one of his nominated guys who are aware of them.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Fantastic price. I also would want a OSG & regs.

 

[ISSWWW]

Good day today, had four or five members order the Regs book.

The guys in the office know all about the offer and are putting the orders through, i hope those who have ordered found it reasonable straight forward.

Just in response to the comments about how much the schemes make, we are doing this at next to cost, i just felt this was an opportunity for isswww.co.uk (unashamed plug)

to help out the membership after reading the thread, it happens from time to time that we are in a position to do so. 

 

[Lurch]

Was that the Lurch  ?

 I believe there is only one.

I will post agin when I see something else ludicrous in another few years.

 

[binky]

Count me in for one copy!

I think you should get a plug on every page with the amount of good deeds you pass on to forum members,,,
